Shoot, I think long links are going to break on a cut and paste reply and will lose formatting. Not the end of the world but I do think a FAQ would be useful.

As an example, I added a recent link below in the FAQ at the bottom of the Oracle section., but highlight a couple of quotes why this is interesting. Think about what SF, SAP, Microsoft will want to do to "neutralize" the advantage Oracle has from nFusz. You can neutralize by partnering with nFusz too!

A while ago, Salesforce and Microsoft created an integration with Outlook, effectively making Outlook another user interface for Salesforce. This parallels Microsoft's own integration with its CRM and Outlook. So this partly neutralizes Outlook as a differentiator in any CRM decision

In all of this, we can see that Salesforce has been working to maintain its independence by linking with anything that can enhance its CRM and make it less desirable as an acquisition target. Of greater importance, it's these relationships and others like them that will help Salesforce reach its goal of US$20 billion in revenue in a few years.

nFusz FAQ

How does NetSuite fit into all of this with Oracle? Does anybody use NetSuite?
Oracle bought NetSuite a little less than two years ago for $9.3B and added 10,000 companies since (33% increase). How do you keep that market share growing? By adding new capabilities as fast as you can.

Oracle is a large product, development and service company. With all their resources, why wouldn't they developsomething similar?
For the last year they've been hiring like gangbusters. They have 1,619 sales openings right now only topped by 1,797 in product development.

That potentially is $250M in product development new hires and another $250M in sales new hires per year.

That's 1/2 a billion $ in new hires. It is a lot faster to partner with an existing company than to try to hiring even more to create a new solution from scratch

Why would Oracle do a deal with a small startup company?
Reuters:
Large companies do it all the time when they find great innovation. Here's an example:

I heard a lot about Salesforce being a giant in CRM. Why didn't nFusz do a deal with them first or even SAP?
Oracle is under a lot of pressure to continue to drive sales to the cloud. Having innovative products from nFusz will help them hit their targets.

What a lot of people don't know is even Oracle's competition rely on Oracle. Having Oracle sales reps market nFusz to Oracle customers is also marketing the company so Oracle's competitors at the same time.

"Let me tell you who's not moving off of Oracle. A company you've heard of that gave us another $50 million this last quarter. That company is Amazon. They're not moving off of Oracle. Salesforce isn't moving off of Oracle. Our competitors, who have [no reason] to like us very much, continue to invest in and run their entire business on Oracle. I don't know who's moving on from Oracle. Maybe Mark knows, maybe Safra does. But Amazon , you think Amazon would really want to move. Let me tell you someone else who is not moving out of Oracle: SAP . They have the database called HANA. They'd like to move SuccessFactors. They've been trying to move off of Oracle for 5 or 6 years. All SAP large customers run on Oracle. Amazon continues to buy Oracle technology to run their business. Salesforce runs entirely on Oracle. Go ahead, you tell me who's moving off of Oracle."

Now that nFusz has done a deal with Oracle, does that mean they can't do a deal with any of the other large companies like SalesForce, SAP, Microsoft, etc.?
The Oracle deal is non-exclusive. nFusz is free to do deals with anyone else.

Why would SalesForce, SAP, Microsoft want to do a deal with nFusz now that the product is going to be integrated into Oracle's Netsuite?
To stay competitive and not lose market share. Integrating nFusz technology into their solutions could cancel out the advantage Oracle has initially. Oracle is raising the bar on the product offering and NotifiCRM may be the new minimum that every product must have.
